R.I.P. the Death Set's Beau Velasco

No details yet on the founding member's death

Details are scarce, but the Death Set's Twitter reports (and the band's publicist confirms) that Beau Velasco, a founding member of the Baltimore-based electro-punk band the Death Set, has died. Late last night, the band posted this: "R.I.P. my dear brother, friend and band mate Beau Velasco. For all those who wish to pay their respects I will let know soon." (via Brooklyn Vegan)

Velasco had, in recent years, stopped performing live with the band. Right now, there's no word on the circumstances surrounding his death.
